"A Monograph of the Felidae or Family of the Cats" is a seminal work by Daniel Giraud Elliot, published in 1878, that offers an exhaustive exploration of the family Felidae, which encompasses all species of cats, both big and small. As a distinguished American zoologist and ornithologist, Elliot was a founding member of the American Museum of Natural History in New York and served as a curator at the Field Museum in Chicago, bringing a wealth of expertise and passion to his study of the natural world.

This monograph stands as a significant contribution to the field of zoology and natural history illustration during the 19th century, a period marked by fervent interest in cataloging and understanding the diversity of the animal kingdom. Elliot's work is particularly noted for its detailed descriptions and classifications of various species within the Felidae family, providing insights into their habitats, behaviors, and physical characteristics.

What sets this monograph apart are the stunning illustrations that accompany the text. These illustrations, produced by Joseph Wolf, a renowned wildlife artist of the time, and lithographed by J.G. Keulemans among others, are considered masterpieces of natural history art. They not only serve to visually document the species discussed but also reflect the Victorian era's dedication to the intersection of science and art. The meticulous attention to detail and the artistic quality of these plates have made Elliot's monograph a collector's item and a valuable resource for both scientists and art enthusiasts.

In the broader context of natural history publications, Elliot's monograph is part of a tradition of monographic studies that aimed to systematically describe the natural world. Its publication contributed to the burgeoning field of zoology by providing a comprehensive reference on felids that has been used by scientists, scholars, and enthusiasts for over a century. Despite the advancements in scientific understanding and taxonomy since its publication, "A Monograph of the Felidae or Family of the Cats" remains a landmark work, celebrated for its contribution to the documentation and appreciation of the diversity of the cat family.
